My first guess would be that is related to the fact that 99.93% of the choline on the market is unsaturated.Is this safe to take if I have disbiosis?
Supplemental phosphatidylcholine can cause heart disease in people with compromised intestinal microflora.
Also can high choline foods.
"A new pathway has been discovered that links a common dietary lipid and intestinal microflora with an increased risk of heart disease. The study shows that people who eat a diet containing a common nutrient found in animal products (such as eggs, liver and other meats, cheese and other dairy products, fish, shellfish) are not predisposed to cardiovascular disease solely on their genetic make-up, but rather, how the micro-organisms that live in our digestive tracts metabolize a specific lipid -- phosphatidyl choline (also called lecithin). Lecithin and its metabolite, choline, are also found in many commercial baked goods, dietary supplements, and even children's vitamins."
From the article :
Common dietary fat and intestinal microbes linked to heart disease
(Moderators: I posted this link in another thread as well "Phosphatidylcholine And Intestinal Microbes Linked To Heart Disease". If you need to delete that one to eliminate redundancy; it's all good)
Pretty bizarre that the authors would draw a link between lecithin and "eggs, liver and other meats, cheese and other dairy products, fish, shellfish" because both groups contain choline and totally ignore the link between lecithin and their precious PUFA because . . . well, they are the same thing.
I'll be interested in looking closer at the study. But that is jumping out and slapping me in the face.
